Monty Zoomer and the Times.

The latest arrival here goes by the name of Monty Zoomer and is a pure Jocker Sprussel, sporting the head of a spaniel on the body of a Jack Russell. For the time being he is making a mess and trying to run without falling over himself.

He arrived just in time to be sweet and clumsy for Tom and Katherine Whipple who were writing a piece for the Times about a romantic and isolated weekend in the yurt. Its going into a camping supplement later this week. So much for isolation, it was a weekend of food and boats and walks and company, plus the ongoing Insider castle build. The yurt was resplendent with its pink doors and over the weekend they watched fascinated as a pair of wasps, seemingly oblivious to their presence, weaved a little nest in the roof, a papery shell with hexagonal compartments for eggs, which I have to now remove before the next rental.

Inshriach House is an Edwardian country house in the Cairngorms National Park. It is available to rent for groups of up to 17 people, or for weddings and location work. It is also home to the Inshriach Yurt and the Beermoth, available to rent through Canopy and Stars. This blog is an informal guide to projects underway around the house, the farm, the gardens and the workshops and to what's going on around Aviemore, up and coming and past events, good places for food, drink and music and entertaining bits of local news
